ANOTHER FAVORITE....

Another repeat from the old blog, definitely one of my favorites. He's a beauty and was focused on catching up with his humans.

Thank you everyone who has left a comment. It is taking me much longer to read and publish than usual. Life is a bit busy again and I will answer all as soon as I can.

A story from my sister-in-law. She was chatting to a neighbor this morning, of how much she liked lemons and had just planted a small tree. A little while later she found several in a bag, waiting for her on the doorstep. What a sweet neighbor.

When we were living near Long Beach in California, back in our navy days, the house we rented had a huge lemon tree in the back garden, with the most enormous lemons. I had never seen one like it, loaded with them on every branch. The scent was intoxicating. I had only ever bought lemons in the supermarket. How I wish I had that lemon tree now, but then we had better move to warmer climes.

my aunt had one with the giant sized lemons, here where I live now. I loved them. one lemon could make a whole pitcher of lemonade. truly a nice neighbor to leave them for her. I LOVE THAT DOG.. he is gorgeous

Hi John, this cute dog made me smile and I was so happy to get a photo of him before he disappeared out of sight, a good memory of his noble little body plodding down the beach. No apologies needed, I don't mention the old navy days too often. Seems like another lifetime ago now :) All the best to you too, Denise.

Wouldn't it be awesome to have a lemon tree? Just recently, I tried Meyer Lemons for the first time, they are yummy. I am putting them in entrees, and pancakes and waffles. I LOVE this picture! He is adorable.

You are a busy lady. I am reminded of the old saying 'So much to do, so little time'. Gone are the days when I had fruit trees in the garden. I do have a couple of apple trees but they are past their best and the fruit is only fit for birds.

Yes, he was having a hard time catching up but they were leaving him to all those wonderful smells on the beach, which I am sure kept him behind his humans. One way of hurrying him up I suppose :) We had heavy rain, high winds and hail today but thank goodness the sun is shining. Hopefully a good omen :)

I had to leave my small potted lemon tree behind when we moved! It had been attacked by caterpillars every year and was barely making it, but I had ALWAYS wanted a lemon tree! Now, I suppose if I kept one in a greenhouse I might have one again. So many people in Tucson had huge ones in their yards...someone was harvesting as we stopped on the road to make a comment one day and they gave us seven or eight!

I thank you for taking the time to leave a comment. I enjoy reading them very much and always try to return a visit. As I do monitor comments it may take a while for them to appear, even quite late depending on what is going on and how much time I am able to spend on the computer.

Also, there are times when I delete by mistake, so if something you have written to me is gone, it's usually because my fingers have pushed the wrong button!
